build-interceptor Wiki: HelpOnActions

Actions

Actions are tools that work on a page or the whole wiki, but unlike macros do not add to the page content when viewing a page, but work on that page content. They either produce some output based on page contents (navigational actions like searching) or implement functions that are not related to viewing a page (like deleting or renaming a page).

The following actions are added to the list of user-defined extension actions at the bottom of each page (or in the "More actions" menu). This happens to any mixed-case extension, for other actions (all lower-case) see the list further down this page. Some of these action might not be available for your wiki site.

Delete a page, after you confirmed it; deletion means a final backup copy is created and only then the page is deleted, i.e. you can revive the page later on (as long as the backups are not physically deleted).

RenamePage

Rename a page, after you confirmed it.

LikePages

list pages whose title starts or ends with the same WikiWord as the current page title.

LocalSiteMap

show nearby links of the current page, i.e. list all referred-to pages, and in turn their references, to a certain limited depth.

The following is a list of internal actions that are used to implement the various icons and links at the top and bottom of pages, or supplement certain macros.
